According to an interview with Kotaku, Toys For Bob is planning more comics like Catbat's backstory down the line to introduce characters for Crash Team Rumble.
Makes me wonder if Spyro the Dragon will get his own comic if he is brought into the game.

The Catbat comic is part of a larger story initiative regarding Crash Team Rumble. Unlike Crash 4,
the new game isn’t a single-player title that’s story heavy and can
therefore expand upon the characters and their relationships. It’s a
multiplayer game, and similar to games like Overwatch, much of Crash Team Rumble’s
story will come from external media. Yan says the studio plans for
these characters’ stories and relationships to “unfold over time,”
rather than take place within the game itself.
“I think one thing
that we’re most excited about with the comic, and future comics that
will come out with heroes, is that this is a space that sits outside of
the game,” Yan says. “If you are the type of fan who wants to know more
about a character’s lore or their relationships or their identity or
their personality, this is a place for those fans to kind of dig in
deeper and ask those questions, and we can have that kind of
exploration. Crash Team Rumble is not an adventure, it is a multiplayer game.”
